I love the moments with my dh where we lay and talk to my bump and talk about all the lovely things we're going to do when he's here.

Finally i love the happiness and excitement my pregnancy has brought the entire family. my parents are overjoyed and my grandma. It's such a lovely time for us all planning for his arrival and buying baby gros and things. Having your child inside you is the most incredible experience and i am treasuring every minute x

You know what? my pregnancy has been a nightmare of crap and tests and bad news. BUT, its also been amazing. The support ive had has been immense and uplifting. I've made new friends here, I've learnt new stuff and the kindness of random people has been wonderful. I love that everyone has to rub my bump and ask how she is, that everyone is so protective of her, and how my entire family including my fantastic teenagers have rallied round in support. And I love that I'm having a gorgeous little girl, who kicks me in the ribs and does star jumps at bedtime and wakes with a start when the alarm goes off! And I really love when dp snuggles up and feels her mad movements and smiles.

I loved being able to feel her wriggling around, and all the kicks and headbuts! DD was breech and every night when I had my bath she would stick her head right out, from just under my ribs. That feeling that only I could feel all her movements, DH could feel her kicks too of course. That she was safe and happy inside me. And that after six early miscarriages my body could actually do this.

Having had a very rough road getting here I love knowing that we have made it this far together and are now halfway there (20 weeks). Very recently started feeling movements and it just feels amazing.Love that every single day our DS1 who is 6 years old hugs or rubs my belly and asks "how is the baby" and talks about all the things he is going to show or teach the baby when it arrives. Love all the fabulous support (and sometimes silliness) on Mumsnet!

I'm definitely loving the kicks, I could spend hours just watching my tummy move.I also love the feeling that I'm achieving something truly incredible. It really is the miracle of life! And people seem to look at me with respect for that too.
